The event aims to prompt thinking on how those who work in school libraries might integrate IFLA guidelines and standards into their work to enhance students’ learning outcomes.
The webinar series from IFLA Professional Division F is for those with an interest in programs, services, collection development, and management at school libraries for building high-performing schools.
In this webinar you will learn more about infodemic as a concept and how we went from fake news to infodemic in the last five years; about training initiatives at the World Health Organization (WHO) and the ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT in Jakarta, Indonesia. You will also hear the clarion call on the role of the librarian in advocacy and the skills needed to fight infodemic and infobesity.
Under the theme: 'People at the centre: envisioning a community-led internet that is inclusive, sustainable and trusted', the Asia-Pacific regional Internet Governance Forum brings together governments, business and other stakeholders to address key issues in how the internet is run.
Since March 2020 librarians, along with the entire world, have been experiencing acute levels of stress and anxiety caused by the pandemic. Recently, stressors related to civil conflict have exacerbated panic levels. How can we help our exhausted library workers serving exhausted library patrons? Which resources can help library workers with burnout and anxiety? There are no magical solutions, but by working together over time we can build networks to support each other.
